Exposure to radioactive material released into the environment have caused mutations in butterflies found in Japan, a study suggests.The study found that mutation rates were much higher among butterfly collected near Fukushima.

Scientists found an increase in leg, antennae and wing shape mutations among butterflies collected following the 2011 Fukushima accident.

The link between the mutations and the radioactive material was shown by laboratory experiments, they report.
